Top failures
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 11.64%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.

A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 5.23%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.

A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Exhaust has major gas leak 5.17%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Seat belt anchor area weakened 4.67%
Corrosion near a seat belt anchor can weaken the body and make the belt fail, so expert repair is needed.
